Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETFQYLDDON'T BUYSep 08, 2022
Enhanced dividend yield of 12%. Total return over the last 3 years was 5.68% vs. 59% for the NASDAQ 100. YTD, down 17%, vs. the NASDAQ down 24%, so you can see how the covered call strategy works in a falling market. But long term, stocks tend to move higher, not lower. Paying a higher management fee for covered calls, about 60 bps for this one. You can buy a NASDAQ 100 index much cheaper.

It's the ideal tool to help you make quicker, more informed decisions for managing and tracking your investments.

DON'T BUY
Warning flags. US-based product. Never trust yield. Covered calls on this product don't get the favourable capital gains treatment. It might be OK in an RRSP, RRIF, or RESP, but not in a TFSA. You're not hitting the sweet spot of favourable tax treatment.
Doesn't like writing covered calls on stuff that's very volatile, such as NASDAQ, gold, or oils.
